Thread: Jim Grey comes off as an asshole, even when he's right.

During the fight Mares hit low a couple dozen times. The punch that caused the "knockdown" was questionable I suppose, but the way I see it it was low, and the main reason it glanced off the glove is because Agbeko was making an effort to protect himself from the multiple low blows throughout the fight. The main impact was not on the glove, but directly to the cup area, and the knockdown should not have been counted. In any case, they need to have a rematch, and have a ref that will do a better job of keeping things under control. Both fighters have a tendency to foul, with Agbeko having a reputation for using his head inside and Mares with the low blows.
